FNP or ACNP program

I am an ANP/ GNP and I went into this program because of our aging population. And..I don't really want to take care of kids. ACNP is for inpatient or ER care and FNP would be more primary care if you want to work in an office or if your state allows, open up your own independent practice.

There was an ACNP in our FNP program who got great experience working in the ER and she learned to do all kinds of procedures, but she wanted to work in a primary care environment and not be owrking off shifts and weekends.

Several of my classmates are working in nursing home environments--they do visits for primary care adn they love it. I workin cardiology and like internal medicine for adults. So what you you want to do?

Thanks for your reply. I've been in critical care and will probably stay in that area. I will probably attend school for either ACNP or ANP, I'm still deciding on which setting will suit me, i.e. hospital or office. I don't want to do nights, weekends, or holidays any longer.
